DESCRIPTION

WEP

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) provides data encryption to prevent

Encryption

unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the

 

wireless network.

 

Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption.

 

 

Key 1 to Key 4

If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter any 5

 

characters (ASCII string) or 5 pairs of hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-

 

F") preceded by 0x for each key.

 

If you chose 128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13

 

characters (ASCII string) or 13 pairs of hexadecimal characters ("0-9",

 

"A-F") preceded by 0x for each key.

 

There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from

 

eavesdropping by unauthorized wireless users. The values for the keys

 

must be set up exactly the same on the access points as they are on the

 

wireless stations.

 

 

11.6.3 WLAN Add/Edit: WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Security

WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK security has all of the WLAN interface’s users share the same password (pre-shared key).

To configure and enable WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK security, click Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN > Add (or Edit) to open the WLAN Edit screen. Select WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WPA/WPA2-PSKas the Security Type. WPA/WPA2-PSKmeans wireless clients can use either WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK to connect to the WLAN interface. The following screen shows the security fields.
